Age: My Small World

Chapter 210 Treating guests to dinner
Red Seal State-Owned Hotel.

It's not lunch time yet, but there are already quite a few people sitting here.

As soon as Yang Jun entered the door, he asked for a seat near the window and started ordering dishes casually.

"One braised pork, one braised tofu, one large intestine, one pot-roasted duck, one fish fillet with scallions and peppers, and one mullet egg soup, and that's it."

It is generally not advisable to order singular numbers of dishes, so he specially ordered six dishes to make it a complete set.

Hearing him casually mention one dish after another, not only the mother and daughter, but even the waiters in the restaurant were a little stunned. He rarely saw people eating and drinking like this, and usually they would order together with several people.

"Can you finish it? Don't waste it." The waiter kindly reminded.

Although they are called waiters, their status is actually much better than that of ordinary people. At least it is a stable job and they generally don't have to rely on others to make a living.

The service industry these days is basically the opposite, and it is common for waiters to be impatient.

"Don't worry, comrade. We'll pack up any leftovers and take them away."

Yang Jun took out a lunch box and gestured.

The waiter then said nothing more.

"By the way, please make me another serving of the same dish to take away."

One portion is not enough.

After a quick calculation, the waiter looked at Yang Jun and said, "The total is twenty-one yuan, plus two kilograms of grain coupons and four kilograms of meat coupons."

He was afraid that this person was here to have fun, but it didn't look like that.

Yang Jun did not hesitate and quickly took out the money and ticket from his pocket and handed it over.

After the people left, the woman opposite regained a lot of composure.

At first she was shocked by the number of dishes Yang Jun ordered, but it was not because she had never eaten such dishes before.

When her family was better off, she had even eaten better food than this.

Of course, seeing that Yang Jun spent someone else's monthly salary on a meal, I finally believed that he really had the ability to treat people, and it was considered a sincere invitation to dinner.

The little girl was already drooling with greed, blinking her eyes as she stared at the food outlet in the kitchen, fearing that their food would be served late.

"I'm sorry to have cost you so much."

The woman's temperament at the dinner table changed again. She looked like an elegant princess, with a unique temperament in every move.

Even though her clothes are a little worn, they still can't conceal her charm.

Yang Jun was almost certain that the woman in front of him must have come from a wealthy family.

"Haha, it's just a meal, it's nothing."

The woman nodded and took all this to heart.

Then he said:
"Hey dear, what should we do during dinner?"

At this time, she did not forget to teach her daughter.

The little girl sat up straight and said in a clear voice, "Eat your meal well and don't look around."

"very good."

The woman touched the little girl's head and seemed very satisfied.

Then she looked up at Yang Jun.

"Hello, comrade. We haven't met formally yet. My name is Gu Nanke."

"Also, Guaiguai's real name is Zeng Guci. You can call her Xiaoci or Guaiguai."

"Gu Nan Ke... I envy you for realizing the law of non-birth early on and seeing through Nan Ke's dream.

Zeng Gu Ci... She wanted to resign but still looked back. It seems that Sister Gu has something in mind but has not yet taken action.

They’re all good names!”

Yang Jun admired sincerely.

As expected of someone who comes from a wealthy family, his name is so poetic.

However, there was a glimmer of light in Gu Nanke's eyes. She didn't expect that Yang Jun could easily point out her meaning.

The so-called envy of you for realizing the law of non-birth early and seeing through the dream is nothing but gains and losses of wealth and honor, which must be seen clearly and not dwell on the past. She always felt that her name was given by her father when the family fell into poverty.

As for Guaiguai's name, it was because she had wanted to leave, but she had some concerns and had to stay. Before the two of them could think too much, the dishes here had already started to be served.

The first thing that came up was the braised tofu with soy sauce, which was very simple to prepare and quick to serve.

He ordered all the classic braised dishes, and luckily there was a master chef in charge in the restaurant, so the dishes tasted quite good.

Just one plate of tofu is enough to make people almost eat half a bowl of rice.

To be honest, this was the first time that Yang Jun, who had made a lot of tofu, felt the difference.

The tofu he made himself was already very good, but he didn't expect that there is always someone better than you.

It’s rare that I haven’t gotten tired of eating tofu after eating it for so long.

"Brother, what is the Nine-Turn Large Intestine?"

When a rather strange dish was served, Guaiguai was greatly surprised.

Yang Jun was no stranger to the Nine-Turn Large Intestine. He often watched others eat it, but this was his first time eating it himself, so he was quite curious. It is said that one has to leave some of the original flavor in it to make it taste better.

"Would you like to try it, dear?"

"Yes, I'm not afraid." For the sake of food, the little girl was very brave.

The two of them tasted it almost together.

Yang Jun's eyes lit up: "I didn't expect that I was overthinking it. Nine-turn large intestine can actually be so delicious."

The version that is circulated only represents one person's method, but in fact, the dish of Nine-Turn Large Intestine, which has always been in Shandong cuisine, has its own soul.

For example, the method he was eating now did not leave much flavor, but it was crispy and smooth, without any difference.

"Sister Gu, try it."

Yang Jun picked up a piece for Gu Nanke.

Then she looked embarrassed.

"Brother, Mom doesn't eat large intestines. She is afraid of it." Guaiguai couldn't help but laugh. He seemed to be very happy to see his mother being deflated.

"I'm sorry, it's my fault."

Yang Jun stretched out his chopsticks again and picked up the large intestine. It didn't matter if there was some rice on it, as it couldn't be wasted.

Gu Nan Ke seemed to be hesitant to speak, as he watched him put the piece of large intestine into his mouth and taste it without any hesitation, and eat the rice in his bowl as well.

Thinking of this, she lowered her head slightly.

I don’t know how long it took, but more things started to appear in the bowl in front of me.

It turned out that there were other dishes arriving.

The third dish was braised pork, and there were several lean pieces in my bowl. I knew who did it without asking.

Guaiguai whispered to Yang Jun about her mother's preferences. She loved braised pork, but couldn't eat the fatty ones, so she always ate the lean ones.

It wasn't that he was bored and had to pick up some food, but Gu Nan Ke's health seemed to be no worse than his daughter's.

She was almost dragging herself down, but she still had to hold on.

If this meal can supplement my mood, I might feel better.

He was saving people.

"Thank you."

Gu Nan Ke thanked him and started eating in small bites.

It doesn't look fast, but the speed is not slow.

Yang Jun ordered a pound of rice for each person and two pounds for himself.

Gu Nan Ke has already eaten most of it.

She was really hungry.

The meal continued even after the next few dishes were served.

When the mullet egg soup came up, Gu Nan Ke couldn't help but look at Yang Jun again.
